[LYRICS] TOKIO - 36℃

[hontontoko]

From the 5 Ahead album, released in 2001
Lyrics & Composition by Shigeru Joshima

KANJI
波間に消えた夏の陽よ 焼けた砂よ
焦がれ濡れた想い連れて どこへ行くの

もう少し あと少しだけ 風に抱かれよう
Never change my life こんな夜は…

Say goodbye to love 去りし日よ
Say goodbye to you 覚めぬ夢よ
Say goodbye…
永遠のぬくもり 36℃の君の愛よ

このまま夜が続けばと囁いた君 (I'll be here)
飽きる事無く見つめた瞳 今じゃ波と揺れる

もう少し あと少しだけ 星に抱かれよう
Never change my mind そんな夜さ…

Thank you for your love 蜻蛉のように
Thank you for your kiss 煌めいてる
Thank you for…
海に溶けゆく 36℃の夏の恋よ

Time goes by
水性の絵の具で描いた地図に魅せられて
ありったけ歩いたっけ With you…

Say goodbye to love 去りし日よ
Say goodbye to you 覚めぬ夢よ
Say goodbye…
胸に消え残る愛しい人よ

Thank you for smile 切なくて 幼くて 急ぎすぎた二人
忘る事ない 36℃の夏の君よ

ROMAJI
Namima ni kieta natsu no hi yo yaketa suna yo
Kogare nureta omoi tsurete doko e yuku no

Mou sukoshi ato sukoshi dake kaze ni dakareyou
Never change my life konna yoru wa...

Say goodbye to love sarishi hi yo
Say goodbye to you samenu yume yo
Say goodbye...
Toa no nukumori 36 ℃ no kimi no ai yo

Kono mama yoru ga tsudzukeba to sasayaita kimi (I'll be here)
Akiru koto naku mitsumeta hitomi ima ja nami to yureru

Mou sukoshi ato sukoshi dake hoshi ni dakareyou
Never change my mind sonna yoru sa…

Thank you for your love kagerou no you ni
Thank you for your kiss kiramei teru
Thank you for...
Umi ni toke yuku 36℃ no natsu no koi yo

Time goes by
Suisei no enogu de kaita chizu ni miserarete
Arittake aruitakke With you…

Say goodbye to love sarishi hi yo
Say goodbye to you samenu yume yo
Say goodbye...
Mune ni kienokoru itoshii hito yo

Thank you for smile setsunakute osanakute isogi sugita futari
Wasuru koto nai 36℃ no natsu no kimi yo

ENGLISH
The summer sun disappears behind the rolling waves and the burning sand
With emotions warmed by the sun and drenched in water, where could we possibly go?
Let's bask in the wind a little more, just a little bit more
Never change my life on this special night...

Say goodbye to love as we leave these days behind
Say goodbye to you in this waking dream
Say goodbye...
The warmth of your love is eternal, measured at 36℃

If only the night could continue like this, you'd whisper in my ear (I'll be here)
I could never get tired of looking at you, even if my gaze is as unsteady as the ocean
Let's look at the stars a little more, just a little bit more
Never change my mind about that night we had...

Thank you for your love that was as fleeting as a dragonfly
Thank you for your kiss and the way you made everything glitter
Thank you for...
This 36℃ summer love is melting away in the sea

Time goes by
And I'm obsessed with this map I painted in watercolour
Of all the places I walked to with you

Say goodbye to love as we leave these days behind
Say goodbye to you in this waking dream
Say goodbye...
You're my beloved, my everything, and from my heart you disappear

Thank you for your smile even when it hurt, even when we rushed it like children
I'll never forget you as you were in that 36℃ summer

Another request from tongvfangshidae! Suitably so, since this is one of my favourite TOKIO songs. :') It's not just because I think everyone sounds beautiful in it, but also because I think the lyrics are especially beautiful. Then again, Leader's always been good at writing these kinds of things. It really has that young love feeling...

Thank you so much! You're so nice translating all my requests. Btw I didn't know Leader wrote this amazing song...

You're welcome to keep them coming! I'm just sorry I'm so slow--I get distracted way too easily and put too many projects on myself, so I usually forget about checking my to-do list. XD;

And yeah, Leader's always been good at these slow love ballad things. He wrote Baby Blue, too, so you can really see this was the style he was into at the time. Brokenhearted love ballads is the mark of Joshima Leader, basically.

Watch out because I might request the translation of the entire Act II (with the exception of Ambitious) lol

Arigatou for always translating their songs, very much appreciated. Otsukaresama.

[heart283.livejournal.com]

Thank you for translating this song too. You're right, Leader is good at these wistful love songs. They're...pretty?

36C makes me an emotional WRECK, honestly. T___T

But it's very pretty, both in lyrics/imagery and in the way TOKIO sounds and in the simple instrumental, and I can never.

The map painted in watercolour is such a strong thought.
